4 Gigs DDR3 Ram Showing At 2 Gigs In Vista 64

Dec 15, 2008

I have a really weird issue, here are the details.Firstly, as stated in the title i do have Vista 64 bit. Recently bought 2x2 Gig DDR3 1600 (corsair TW3X4G1600C9DH) with timings 9-9-9-24. My motherboard is an Asus P5Q3 Deluxe. This chipset (Intel P45) has know issues with DDR3 running at higher than 1066, but this has supposedly been rectified with a BIOS update which i have flashed, so not sure if that is relevant as my problem is not speed related.

Under system properties the ram is shown as 4 Gigs but in task manager it says: Physical Memory, Total: 2046. The usage graph shows about 1.1 used and is just over half-way full. Not sure if this is valid but i have a pre-release SP2, not sure if this could cause such a problem. CPU-z shows both modules are there, but shows total 4 gigs, however Everest only shows 2 Gigs. Screenshot below, hope this is not too big, but theres a lot of info to squeeze in.

Vista 64 & 4 Gigs RAM Unlesss Spend

Aug 4, 2009

I wanted to know if I can use 4 gigs of RAM on Vista 64 as opposed to 8 gigs? I will be using this rig mostly for gaming. I haven't had any luck finding two 4 gig packs of memory locally unless I spend a lot of money. Could I use four 2 gig sticks of the same mfg? I am hesitant not to use bundled memory if I want 8 gigs.

Update Program Cannot BIOS

Jun 14, 2007

I failed to flash my BIOS through Windows Vista 64 (Asus Update), now the update program cannot see any BIOS, so on attempting to start the PC again, I think it will be dead.

This OS is a complete joke.
My Vista 64 Nightmare List:
4GB Flash will not work (Asks for driver which does not exist)
Music Keyboards don't have Vista 64 Drivers
Vista 64 will not shut down correctly (Shutting down screen freezes)
Vista 64 gives cannot locate link for Firefox shortcuts (But Firefox loads with page)
Vista 64 will not recognise my Creative Zen....

How Can Make Boot Disk For Update BIOS

Mar 19, 2008

So have an intel mobo, and there is a BIOS update for it, but the windows exe that Intel provides to flash it right from inside windows doesn't work in Vista 64 Ultimate. So My other options are to create a bootable USB stick or a bootable CD. I actually don't have a USB stick I can use for this, so I want to go the CD route. Either way I don't know how I can make a bootable Vista disk that gets me to a command prompt that I can put these bios files on so then I can run the bios update. I think this BIOS update could solve some problems I'm having getting things running smoothly.

BIOS Update: Driver Scanning Program Costs Money

Aug 3, 2009

I have tried to find an update to my BIOS (Phoenix Trustedcore Ver. R01-B0F), but it seems almost impossible to find! I have tried at Phoenix' homepage, but they redirect me to DriverAgent that is a driver scanning program and that costs money. It must be possible to find the update elsewhere.

When Try To Install That Update For Windows Update Get Error Code 80070643.

Apr 11, 2008

That is the message I get from the icon in my Vista tray. When I try to manually check for Windows Updates I get the message that I need to "first install an update for Windows Update". When I try to install that update for Windows Update, I get error code 80070643. There is a lot written about Windows Update error 80070643 having specifically to do with restarting the Office Source Engine for Microsoft Office 2003. HOWEVER, I do not have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my system and this is not my issue! I am quite fearful at this point that I am vulnerable to all sorts of attacks considering that I haven't updated Vista for about 6 months now. This is not good.

Vista Will Not Boot Usb Disabled In Bios

May 2, 2008

Vista will not load up Normal, once I get to account selection screen, mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. REpair mode did not resolve issue. Attempted various restore points from 4/23/08 going 30 days back. I can then select an account and Vista begins to load up but keyboard unresponsive when initial programs load up, even using PS/2 device connection. Mouse still fuctions until....System seems to "hang" after a "New Device Found" window pop up. Windows will search for drivers for you. Then nothing.. I then lose mouse control...

Attempted Fixes: I have tried a windows repair disk and no luck. I have tried numerous restore points, same result.. I have EVEN tried to access hard drive via UBUNTU Linux and Knoppix..with both systems not being able to mount device.. Current Status: I have disabled USB support in the BIOS.. and now I can get Vista to load up USING PS/2 devices...but what do I do now? 1. I can't back up the data since no USB support hence no attaching external devices such as usb hard drive... How do I resolve issue, I should not have disable USB to have Vista "function" should I

Vista Showed Up Bios Aren't Dual

Feb 1, 2008

Well, I just got 4gb of RAM (4x1gb) from Silicon Assets. Coming from 1gb (512mbx2), which was high density. The new stuff is low latency (4-4-4-12), and low density, and double sided. Well, I installed them in Vista Ultimate x64, and only 2814 show up. I go in the BIOS, and everything shows as 4gb, the PCI-E is limited to 512mb (because thats how much it takes iteself), and everything was set. Well, in CPU-Z it also tells me I have 4gb of RAM. When I used the MEM-TEST LiveCD, it said I had 2815 again, same as Vista. I removed all the RAM and tested them one by one, and all showed up in the Bios correctly. I then put in 3 sticks so they aren't in dual and that only 3gb is there, and the same: 2815 even after scanning and everything. I am completely lost on what to do.......

Regarding 32X And 4 Gigs Of Ram

Apr 14, 2010

So, just wondering. I have 4 gigs of Ram (1 x 2 Gig stick and 2 X 1 gig Sticks) My Board is listed in my Specs (And yes i grouped the two single gig sticks together on the same channel thing.) So i was wondering why it shows up as 3326 MB Instead of just 4 Gigs. My Buddy says its a Binary thing and the way that the computer reads the Ram, but my Task Manager says the same thing too, and i just want to make sure that this really is just a cosmetic thing. Here is a screenshot of some stuff.

BIOS Opinion, BIOS Is Out Of Date

Feb 25, 2009

Sometimes when I install drivers I get the message that my BIOS is out of date (including updates from AMD) if I go to the Phoenix site it says go to the motherboard manufacturer or run Biosagent if you use this you pay for the update but you do get this info so is it worth e-mail gateway support, using the boisagent or just leave well alone.


Info from biosagent

X64 Will Not Boot With 4 Gigs Ram

May 29, 2008

I think this is a bios update thing - although I can not get an update from msi as their update thing doesn't support 64 bit os. Here's the poop. Windows will boot with 1, 2, and 3 one gig modules in all different combos but when I stick in the 4th it doesn't even get to post. However, when I take out the cmos battery, then replace it along with the 4 gigs installed - it boots, but with a beep and a post that says bad checksum and something about setting the clock. If I select go ahead with the default settings it boots right into windows and things are sweet. But from there if I reboot I'm back to square 1. If I select at the post thing (f1) to go in to change the clock - then f10 out, I'm again back to square one.

Missing 11 Gigs Hd

Nov 9, 2009

so i have an E-machines T5082, i upgraded the Ram, put a better Graphics card in it, the like A few years ago after tinkering around with some weird stuff that i didn't understand, my drive got smaller. After looking around i learned that i had partitioned it or the like, so i deleted the partition and the drive went back to normal. A virus later took hold and the partition thing happened again.

Long story short, for some reason, i am missing 11 Gigs from my HDD, and i KNOW its not Windows Vista taking 11 gigs. I mean, in My Computer, its reading my HDD as 149 GB instead of 160 like it USED TO. How can I get back these 11 gigs, WITHOUT reformatting or anything like that?

64bit: How To Upgrade 4 Gigs Of Ram

Apr 19, 2009

im going to be putting another 4 gigs of ram into my machine when I get my new motherboard. I am going to need to upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32bit to Vista Ultimate 64bit. I know there's no native support to just upgrade, so I was wondering if someone knew the easiest way to do this. I especially don't want to have to reinstall my programs and games, so is it possible just to back up my program files and copy them into the new program files folder? Also, is there any way to transfer the registry information? I know the registry's won't be compatible, but is there some sort of 32 to 64 conversion method?

PC Wont Start With 8 Gigs Of Ram

Jan 3, 2009

I know the machine I have upgraded to vista 64 bit ultimate is not the ideal machine to do this on.. But I am going to eventually upgrade the hardware thats slacking. I cannot get my pc to work with 8 gigs of ram. Tried 6, no luck.. only 4 gigs will allow the system to boot. I get an alert saying the system memory has increased when I have all 8 gigs snapped in, press the required key to continue then the screen goes blank, tried waiting a little to see if OS would load, but no dice. according to www.crucial.com, my pc will support 8 gigs. I have gone to dells support page and there are no vista drivers available

Update Does Not Install Perporly

Apr 29, 2009

First, a bit of background. I purchased the Vista system in May 2008. Last ran a Windows update on 21 June 2008. Why? Because the first time I ran a Live Update with NIS 2008, my wireless connection broke. So, I decided to not do anything significant, on the internet, until I got rid of NIS 2008 and replaced it with something better, KIS 2008. I did this yesterday. So, I ran a Windows update last night. As it had been 10 months, there were about 379MB of files. Since I am still on dial-up (expect to switch to broadband after I straighten out this update issue, hopefully, next week), I let the critter run overnight.

Alas, when I awoke, I found the 'puter wating for my response to the question of whether I wanted to upgrade from IE 7 to IE 8. Due to the inactivity, I was logged off by my ISP. Today, I ran several updates, until I finally got to an update that indicated that there was only 1 optional update remaining. However, this update will not install. The following are the details. Quote: Realtek - Network - Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Family PCI-E GBE NIC Download size: 148 KB You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect. Update type: Optional DriverUpdate: Realtek Network software update released in February, 2009: Select a Product Solution Center P.S. Error code was 80070103 Windows Update Encountered am Unknown Error
